It'll be the same. I'm gonna get some UPR adjustable chromo control arms with solid bushings. I think the crappy OEM control arms and silly-puddy oem rubber bushings is a big reason why it only lifts one wheel...But probably absorbs a lot of the shock and explains why it dead hooks on the street with no burnout/vht.

I'll do something spray to spray when you finally put a kit on it. I've got something in the works so it might not be out until mid summer though.

I don't know when I am going to throw a kit on it. I am going for the stock internal record and then I will probably throw a cam in it. I don't think I will spray until next year.
